Its Effective Testimony at Los Angeles
for Central and Northern California.
EDS. RECORD UNION: According to the
adyices coming to hand, the committee in
charge of the Placer county exhibit is not
having altogether smooth sailing with the
press of that part OF the State. More par
ticularly is this the case with the Los An
geles Herald, which sheet, apparently not
disposed to be inconsistent, continues on
its usual course of Misrepresentation of ev-
erything outside of Southern California In
its issue of December 21st it has the I'M
blushing effrontery to announce that " as
to orange culture, it is confined to the few
counties known as Southern California, in
the most restricted sense of the term
1t then goes on to state that in the greater
part of Northern California the mercury
falls every year to twelve degrees above
zero.
1t is satisfactory to the people of North.
ern California to know that the very eff.
Gent committee of Placer county's public
spirited citizens, under whose care the ex-
hibit is being made, are equal to the occa.
sion, and are not afraid TO +" beard the lion
in his den," and without hesitation will
reply, where necessary over their own sig.
natures, through the columns of the more
| fair-dealing part of the Los Angeles press
| to all such misrepresentation.
This course is having good effect, and
we are advised by member of the com.
mittee that strangers in Los Angeles are
ceasing to be as gullible as heretofore
Thousands are tlocking to the exhibit, and
| the greatest surprise and wonder is ex
pressed, that in the north such variety
of excellent fruits can be produced. In
| Los Angeles it is necessary to refer to oul
country as being in the north, as when
| Central California is mentioned, the Los
Angeles real-estate agent claims it as s
| suburb of the south.
/ a surprising amount of fraud has beer
practiced upon the Los Angeles tender

real estate agents could be so successful in
presenting all of the truth in its greatest
perfection, as this class of the population
OF the south are In incorporating the
north, great changes would speedily fol.

as true as gospel. that one-quarter of il
cannot be told to person in few minutes
conversation. Not only is this the case
but the Eastern visitor to Los Angeles in 6
short time becomes so conversant with the
method of misrepresentation there prac
ticed, that ii is not surprising that he will
not readily accept the truth when it i:
presented to him.
A very commemorate spirit has beer
shown by the Placer County Exhibition

| are yet to follow, that the present exhibit
is the most interesting and from this class,
at least for the present, that our increase OF
population may be expected. And they
are the most desirable people that we can

It is to be hoped that the Board of Trade
of Placer county, who arranged for and got
up this grand exhibit, will receive the
| liberal support of the people of Placer to
which they are justly entitled, for it may
confidently be promised that every man

future appreciate the benefit of this move

nounced as one of the most meritorious

ductions that has ever been held in South
ern California. Pro Bono.
